The International Workshop on Distributed Systems:
Operations and Management (DSOM) is the premier annual
workshop in the general area of network and services
management. In its 20th edition, DSOM 2009 will be held
October 27-28, 2009 in Venice, Italy, as part of the 5th
International Week on Management of Networks and Services
(MANWEEK 2009).

The primary theme of DSOM 2009 will be "Integrated
Management of Systems, Services, Processes and People in
IT", keeping its focus on the traditional network and system
management disciplines, as well as extending it onto the
emerging research field of managing all other "soft" aspects
of IT, involving people and processes. IT management has
evolved significantly over the past few years as IT-based
solutions have become increasingly critical to the
functioning of organizations. From device, network and
systems management, solutions have evolved to include
service management and IT governance, as witnessed by the
recent popularity of ITIL and COBIT frameworks.

DSOM 2009 attracted a total of 50 paper submissions by
authors from 20 different countries. Each paper received at
least three, and in most cases four, reviews by experts in
the field. A total of 14 submissions were accepted into the
program as full papers (acceptance rate of 28%). These will
be presented in 5 technical sessions, as follows.

Monitoring and Analysis Tools
- Design and Implementation of a Distributed Platform for
Sharing IP Flow Records
- Design of a Stream-based IP Flow Record Query Language
- Monitoring Multiple Concurrent Service Level Parameters
with Multidimensional Trees

Service Management
- A Performance-Based Methodology to Improve Grid
Exploitation
- One Is Not Enough: A Hybrid Approach for IT Change
Planning
- Improving IT Change Management Processes with Automated
Risk Assessment

Autonomic and Self-management
- A2A: An Architecture for Autonomic Management
Coordination
- Consistency of States of Management Data in P2P-based
Autonomic Network Management
- Self-Optimizing Hybrid Routing in Publish/Subscribe
Systems

People in IT and Decision Support for IT Management
- Workload Management in Dynamic IT Service Delivery
Organizations
- CHANGEADVISOR: A Solution to Support Alignment of IT
Change Design with Business Objectives/Constraints
- Towards Robust IT Service Portfolio Management
